You just select the track you want, and that's the one you're 
playing. If you want to get tricky with multiple zones, you insert 
and then bypass an I/O plug-in on each channel you want to be active.

That's the way everyone works, Mike, and program changes are just a 
subtle variation of the same technique. I've written many times that 
a real-time performance interface is the next hurdle for sampling 
technology. The sounds are certainly there, but you can't perform 
them in real time yet. If the Yamaha VL1 can respond the way it does 
to input, then selecting the appropriate articulation in response to 
your performance can't be impossible.
